Sukiyabashi Jiro, exclusive sushi restaurant, is dropped by Michelin

Obama was served sushi at The Restaurant in 2014

A world-renowned sushi restaurant where Barack Obama dined has been dropped from the Michelin gourmet guide.

Sukiyabashi Jiro , focus of the 2011 documentary Jiro Dreams Of Sushi, has earned three Michelin stars every year since 2007.

But the Tokyo restaurant has been dropped from the 2020 guide because it no longer accepts public reservations.

To get a table you need to be a regular, have special connections, or go through a top hotel.

It is run by sushi maestro Jiro Ono , who is in his 90s, and his eldest son, Yoshikazu.

The Restaurant can only take 10 guests at a time, with prices starting at around 40,000 Yen (£285) for The Chef 's selection.

It made headlines in 2014 when the then-US president and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe dined there, with Mr Obama reportedly saying it was The Best sushi he had ever tasted.

"Truth is since the film and Obama he is The Most famous Japanese sushi chef alive and he will be fine. He is ancient and only has to fill 10 spots anyway. "

Andy Hayler , a restaurant critic for Elite Traveler magazine, pointed out that despite "fascination" within The Press over The Restaurant , it is only rated 66th best in Tokyo for sushi by the.

"From 2008, when Michelin started covering Tokyo, it did not cover places like Mibu or Kyoaji, which are famous but are essentially private members clubs," he added.

The dropping of Sukiyabashi Jiro comes after The Araki, a sushi restaurant in London's Mayfair, was stripped of all three of its Michelin stars this year after its chef went back to Tokyo.

In 2017, French chef Sebastien Bras asked to be stripped of his three stars as it
